I cried after a sparring session....

[rmz]

No worries amigo, it happens to almost everyone. I remember I had been boxing for about 6 months and I got into the ring with a guy who was sparring for the first time and he beat me up pretty bad. I almost cried because I was so frustrated and he hit me with a real good body shot, but fortunately I held it in. But hey, I'm still in the gym working hard to this day. A lot of guys get beat up in the ring and they just quit. Stick with it.

Nothin to worry about, i almost cried the other day as well actualy cause i had a horrible day then while training it seemed like nothing flowed and like i was starting from square 1 again. So i started thinking "why the **** am i doing this?" but it happens to everyone you just gotta go out and try your best

Getting beat in sparring isn't what will define you as a boxer. Even crying after you get beat in sparring isn't what will define you as a boxer. Whether or not you come back to the club the next day is.

I got my ass kicked by Hector Lizarraga, he hit me to the body like 5 times and I was tearing during the match, after wards he gave me a kiss and said he was proud of me. at this point I had been doing amateur boxing for a while and I must say that this ass kicking, more so than the wins, has served me in all aspects my life. everyone should go through it once.
YOU DONT GIVE UP!!!

5' 6" and only 115 lbs. really? not talking ****, i just find that crazy

He's only 15, I was 5'4 110 lbs in grade 9, and I was pretty inactive.

well although i have never felt that way i really understand the feeling of getting ur ass kicked hahaha when i was starting i did (i still do ) sparring with lots of pros without ever falling down but taking massive beatings, but the first time i was put on my butt it was pretty humiliating for me,

but remember this kid, thats what a sparring its for, dont be sad be happy it happened in the gym. You will be prepared if it happens on a real fight.

It doesnt mean anything to be beaten on a sparring session its just training put your best effort on it, and try to be better next time.

First things first, I've got a lot of respect for you for posting your experience on an internet forum!

I've never cried but I have recieved my ass whupping like many others have stated. For me it was the other way round in that my first experience of sparring was against an experienced international Welterweight. He was born in the UK but fights for Cyprus, he only just missed out on going to the Olympics this year. I'm Super Heavyweight and at the time weighed 251lbs.

The guy hit me from all angles, I couldn't even see his hands, all I felt were the punches rebounding off various sections of my skull! lol Just as Ali said Foreman would do: I needed to call the police because I felt like I was surrounded by 5 people giving me a beat down!

Like someone else had mentioned, it wasn't done for humiliation or just for the ass whupping. It was to see how I'd react.

Keep up the work bro!

ya thts right i cried after getting my ass kicked. I wasn't crying like "crying" i was tearing up, sniffing and trying to hold it in.

My coach put me in sparring against a guy whose been doing it for atleast one year, but i've been doing it for 2 weeks (10 classes) and i sparred a lot of people and did great, like my coach said i had loads of potential, but this one guy whose close to 6'0 and weighed about 140 LB and i was just 5'6 weighing only 115LB, just tore me down to pieces, it wasnt an ass kick, it was a massacre! anyways, after the sparring session, i was ok, but then i let go my tears and my coach tried to confront me and so did the guy i sparred with, not to mention there were only 3 people in the gym (thank god), and they were supportive of me to.

Anyways i don't know why i'm sharing this, but, i'm not an emotional person, i wasnt hurt physically, i was drained mentally, and it hurt my pride. But i'm taking this beat down and using it as a motivation and try even hardder next time.

Btw i'm 15.....ya make fun of me if u want lol, call me a softy, *****, i know...iknow....*hahah he got his ass kicked and now he's crying hahaha*

***g0t......

Your coach putting you in the ring with a bigger, more experienced guy just shows how much confidence he has in your abilities. He wanted to push you to your limits, now any guy you fight at your weight class will be a walk in the park almost when compared to this bigger guy. Don't make your coach think he was wrong about you, go back and train hard for a few months, then request to spar with the same guy who beat you, to see how much you improved.
